VillaChris Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 8 hours ago, Zhan_Zhuang said: Until he got injured Heaton kept four clean sheets in twenty matches. Defensively I thought we were o.k until Mings did his hamstring v Leicester. Yes we weren't keeping many clean sheets but we'd only actually conceded more than 2 goals in three games up to start of December, away to Spurs, Arsenal and Man. City. Since then it's fallen apart at the back for various reasons but we simply don't have enough talkers and calm heads and really struggle when we lose one to injury. After his rash home debut Heaton was pretty solid in the games and a rare good value for money signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) This might surprise you btw. Number of league clean sheets kept to end of December: Spurs- 2 Arsenal- 3 Chelsea- 4 Man. United- 3 Liverpool- 6 Wolves- 4 Everton- 5 Just for @villalad21 Sheffield United- 7 So Tom Heaton in decent company.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Yeah I think losing Heaton was so unlucky for us, he's arguably better than England's number One (Pickford). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Good in the penalties but Magnificent is pushing it. He has a 6.35 rating this season so far & Tom Heaton was at 6.57 ! He has let in quite a few easy goals due to lack of concentration. Dean Henderson has been a far superior keeper (6.75) this season & should be starting for England based on performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 35 next season and with 2 separate major injuries under his belt. Big question mark against him and Steer. Wouldn't be too quick to sell Nyland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an international by now. Problem is he is might be more susceptible to a long term injury than any player we have ever had. Outfield included.

Magnificent is exaggerating a bit but Pickford did play a key role in our run to the World Cup 2018 semi final Nick Pope gets overlooked because he is at an unfashionable club in Burnley, it shouldn’t be like that but it is sadly Henderson has been great for Sheffield United though, make no mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is only 22 years old though, he has plenty of time. I think he is excellent though, don’t get me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I doubt Man Utd will sell him. He could be No1 there soon. Brilliant keeper. Pickford is good although his permafurious face annoys me. I would have Henderson, Pope and Heaton above him currently though. He has been poor this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
